1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a minimally invasive procedure used for the decompression of portal pressure since the early 1990s. Bacteremia with an infection of the TIPS or endotipsitis is a serious complication with 32% mortality. To date and including the present case, only 56 cases have been reported in the literature. There are concerns regarding underdiagnosis. We report a case of a patient with endotipsitis and recurrent bacteremia treated successfully in our institution. In addition, previous reported cases were reviewed regarding microbiological data and mortality. Clinical practice guidelines including uniform disease definition, prophylaxis, and treatment of this nosocomial prosthetic-related infection are urgently needed.
